Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) First, the configuration of an elevator according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the elevator according to the first embodiment is installed in a 10-story apartment building.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a partial configuration of the elevator according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG.
The elevator according to the first embodiment includes an elevator main body 1 for transporting a person up and down, and a driving unit 2 for driving the elevator main body 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, call buttons 14a and 14b are provided on a wall surface within a predetermined distance from the elevator entrance 13 on each floor of the apartment. The call button 14a is a button for calling the elevator body 1 when the user wants to go to the upper floor, and the call button 14b is used when the user wants to go to the lower floor. A button for calling the elevator body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, an open button 15a, a close button 15b, and a floor designation button 16 are provided inside the elevator main body 1.
Call buttons 14a, 14b, open button 15
a, when the close button 15b or the floor designation button 16 is pressed, the driving means 2
Drives the elevator body 1.

The call buttons 14a, 14
In each of the b, open button 15a, close button 15b, and floor designation button 16, a fingerprint reading means 3 (see FIG. 1) for reading a fingerprint of a person who pressed those buttons is embedded. The fingerprint reading means 3 is also a component of the elevator according to the first embodiment.

In the elevator according to the first embodiment, the storage means 4 for storing the fingerprints of all the residents of the apartment using the elevator, and the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 are stored in the storage means 4. And an authentication unit 5 for authenticating whether or not the fingerprint matches any of the fingerprints stored in the storage device. Only when the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 is authenticated by the authentication means 5 to match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4,
The driving means 2 drives the elevator body 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the elevator according to the first embodiment determines that the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reader 3 does not match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage 4. And a warning unit 7 that emits a warning sound in response to a warning signal from the warning unit 6. When transmitting the warning signal to the warning unit 7, the warning unit 6 also transmits a warning signal to a security company that guards the apartment.

Further, the elevator according to the first embodiment, when it is verified that the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 does not match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, provides information indicating that. And a recording unit 8 for recording information such as a fingerprint that has been authenticated as not matching and a time when it has been authenticated that it does not match.

The elevator according to the first embodiment counts the number of pre-registered persons among the persons existing in the elevator main body 1 based on the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3. 1 counting means 9
A camera 10a installed on the elevator body 1, a camera 10b installed on a ceiling or the like within a predetermined distance range from an elevator entrance on each floor of an apartment, and an elevator body based on images taken by the cameras 10a and 10b. And a second counting means 11 for counting the number of all the humans present in one. Further, the judging means 12 for judging whether or not the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 are the same as that of the elevator according to the first embodiment. Is provided.

When it is confirmed that the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 do not match, the judging means 12 determines that "the numbers do not match." Was confirmed. "
Is transmitted to the warning means 6 and the recording means 8. When the warning unit 6 receives a signal indicating that “the two do not match” from the determination unit 12, the warning unit 6 issues a warning signal, and outputs the warning signal to the warning unit 7.
And to the above security company. The recording means 8 is also a means for recording information such as the time when the above-mentioned "matching is not confirmed".

The fingerprints of all residents of the condominium using the elevator according to the first embodiment are assumed to be registered in the storage means 4 in advance, and all the residents are required to register the elevator according to the first embodiment. When the user uses the call buttons 14a and 14b and the floor designation button 16
Must be pressed, and all residents must press each button correctly.
Knows the rule that no fingerprints can be read and the elevator cannot be used. Even when a plurality of people use the elevator, it is assumed that each person must press a button such as the call button 14 accurately.

Next, the operation of the elevator according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator according to the first embodiment.

First, a case where one of the residents of an apartment uses an elevator will be described. Here, for convenience of explanation, a case where a resident living on the ninth floor of an apartment intends to descend from the ninth floor to the first floor using an elevator will be described.

Since the resident knows the above rules, he or she presses the call button 14b near the entrance 13 of the elevator on the ninth floor so that the fingerprint reading means 3 can read the fingerprint (step 1). Then, the fingerprint reading means 3 embedded in the call button 14b
The fingerprint is read, and the authentication unit 5 authenticates whether the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading unit 3 matches any of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4 (step 2).

In this case, since the resident knows the above-mentioned rules and has pressed the call button 14b so that the fingerprint reading means 3 can read the fingerprint, the fingerprint reading means 3 presses the fingerprint of the person who pressed the call button 14b. Since the fingerprints of all the residents of the apartment are stored in the storage means 4 as described above, the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 by the authentication means 5 is stored in the storage means 4. Is authenticated as matching any of the fingerprints stored in the. Then, the driving means 2 moves the elevator main body 1 to the ninth floor and stops it, and opens the door (step 3).

When the door of the elevator main body 1 is opened, the resident of the apartment enters the interior of the elevator main body 1 and is provided inside the elevator main body 1, as in the case where the call button 14b is pressed. The floor designation button 16 indicating "floor" is pressed (step 4). Then, as described above, the fingerprint is read by the fingerprint reading means 3 and authenticated by the authentication means 5 (step 5).

Since the fingerprint is that of a resident of the apartment, an authentication result indicating that the fingerprint matches one of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4 is obtained. The door of the main body 1 is closed, and the elevator main body 1 is moved to the first floor and stopped (step 6). Then, when the elevator main body 1 is located on the first floor and stands still, the driving means 2 opens the door of the elevator main body 1 (step 7). Then, a resident who intends to descend from the ninth floor to the first floor can descend to the first floor as desired.

In the above case, the call button 14
Since the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 embedded in the storage means 4 matches any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, the warning means 6 does not issue a warning.

When the resident enters the interior of the elevator main body 1, the first counting means 9 stores the fingerprint of the person present in the elevator main body 1 based on the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3. The number of humans stored in the means 4 is counted. Here, only one fingerprint is read by the fingerprint reading means 3 provided on the call button, and the fingerprint matches one of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4.
Counts that the number of persons whose fingerprints are stored in the storage means 4 among the persons existing in the elevator body 1 is “1”.

Similarly, when a resident enters the interior of the elevator body 1, the second counting means 11 captures images taken by the cameras 10a installed on the elevator body 1 and the cameras 10b installed on each floor of the apartment. , The number of all persons existing in the elevator body 1 is counted.
Here, since one person has entered the interior of the elevator main body 1, the second counting means 11 counts that the number of humans existing in the elevator main body 1 is "1".

Then, the judging means 12 judges whether or not the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 match. As described above, since the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 are both "1", the judging means 12 judges that they match. As described above, when it is determined, the warning unit 6 does not issue a warning.

The fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 matches one of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4 and the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the second counting means No information is recorded in the recording means 8 since the numbers of persons counted by 11 match.

As described above, when a resident of a properly registered condominium uses a regular elevator, the elevator operates as instructed by a properly registered person and a warning is issued from the warning means 6. No information is recorded in the recording means 8.

Next, a case in which one person who is not a resident of the apartment, for example, one suspicious person such as a stalker for one resident of the apartment, intends to use the elevator. Here, for convenience of explanation, a case where a person who is not a resident tries to go up from the first floor to the sixth floor using an elevator will be described.

At this time, a person who is not a resident presses a call button 14a provided near the entrance 13 of the elevator on the first floor (step 1). Then, the fingerprint is read by the fingerprint reading means 3 embedded in the call button 14a, and the authentication means 5 compares the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 with one of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4. Authentication is performed as to whether or not they have been performed (step 2). For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that a person who is not a resident has pressed the call button 14a so that the fingerprint reading means 3 can read the fingerprint.

By the way, since only the fingerprint of the resident of the apartment is stored in the storage means 4, if the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 does not match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, The authentication means 5 performs authentication. Then, the driving means 2 does not move the elevator main body 1 to the first floor, or does not open the door of the elevator main body 1 even when the elevator main body 1 is stopped on the first floor.

Since the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 is authenticated as not matching any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, the warning means 6 transmits a warning signal to the warning means 7 and It also sends warning signals to security companies that guard apartment buildings. And the alarm means 7
Sounds a beep. Further, the recording unit 8 records a fingerprint that has been authenticated as not matching any of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4 and a time at which it has been authenticated that they do not match (step 8).

As described above, even if a person who is not a resident of the apartment tries to use the elevator, he / she cannot use the elevator and a warning sound is emitted, so that a person who is not a resident is going to use the elevator. This is known to residents of apartments. Further, since a warning signal is also transmitted to the security company, the security company visits the security company to guard. As a result, crimes using the elevator can be prevented beforehand. Also,
Since the fingerprint authenticated as not matching any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4 and the time authenticated as not matching the fingerprint are recorded in the recording means 8, even if a crime occurs, the police The use of the data recorded in the recording means 8 by the authorities will be useful for criminal investigation.

In the above description, a case was described in which one person who is not a resident of the apartment intends to use the elevator. However, in the following, a plurality of persons including a resident of the apartment and a person who is not a resident will use the elevator. Will be described. In other words, as described above, a person who is not a resident of a condominium can not use an elevator at all, so one may not consider using an elevator alone, Since there is a possibility that it is possible to consider using an elevator, such a case will be described below.

More specifically, a case will be described in which two persons A and B of the condominium and one person C who is not a resident intend to use the elevator. For convenience of explanation, the resident A uses the elevator from the first floor to 5
It is assumed that the resident B is going to go up to the sixth floor, and the resident C who is not a resident is going to go up to the sixth floor.

Residents A and B among the above three persons know the above-mentioned rules, and therefore press the call button 14a on the first floor so that the fingerprint reading means 3 can read the fingerprint (step 1). Since the fingerprints of the residents A and B are both stored in the storage means 4, the authentication means 5
Authenticates that the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 matches one of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4 (step 2), and based on the authentication result, the driving means 2 causes the elevator body 1 to Move to the first floor and stop and open the door (step 3).

When the door of the elevator body 1 is opened,
A non-resident person C together with the occupants A and B can enter the interior of the elevator body 1. This is because the residents A and B both press the call button 14a and the fingerprint reading means 3 provided on the call button 14a.
Since the fingerprint read by the authentication unit 5 is authenticated by the authentication unit 5 as matching with any one of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4, the warning sound is not emitted and the security company is notified. Because there is no. When the person C who is not a resident presses the call button 14a, the authentication unit 5 authenticates that the fingerprint of the person who pressed the call button 14a does not match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4. Therefore, the elevator body 1 does not move to the first floor, and the elevator body 1
The door will not open even if stopped on the floor. Also,
A warning tone sounds. Therefore, the person C who is not a resident does not press the call button 14a. However,
As described above, the residents A and B use the call button 14a.
As a result, the elevator body 1 stops on the first floor and the door opens, and as a result, a non-resident person C can enter the interior of the elevator body 1.

Next, it is assumed that the door of the elevator body 1 is opened, and that the occupants A and B and the non-resident person C have also entered the interior of the elevator body 1. Then, as if the resident A pressed the call button 14a, the floor designation button 16 indicating "5th floor" provided inside the elevator body 1 is displayed.
Press (Step 4), and Resident B proceeds in the same way to "6th floor"
Is pressed (step 4).

Then, the fingerprints of residents A and B are read by fingerprint reading means 3 and authenticated by authentication means 5 (step 5). Since the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3 belongs to a resident of the apartment, an authentication result that matches any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4 is obtained, and based on such an authentication result, The driving means 2 closes the door of the elevator body 1,
The movement of the elevator body 1 to the upper floor is started (step 6).

By the way, the person C who is not a resident is on the "sixth floor".
Is pressed, the authentication means 5 authenticates that the fingerprint of the person who pressed the floor specification button 16 does not match any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, so that the elevator body Door 1 does not close and an alarm sounds. However, as described above, since the resident B presses the “sixth floor” floor designating button 16 to which the non-resident person C is going, the non-resident person C has the floor designation indicating “sixth floor”. Button 16
There is no need to press. Therefore, the elevator main body 1 starts moving to the upper floor without generating a warning sound.

Thus, together with the residents A and B,
When a non-resident C enters the elevator body 1,
The first counting means 9 counts the number of persons whose fingerprints are stored in the storage means 4 among the persons present in the elevator main body 1 based on the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading means 3. Here, since two fingerprints are read by the fingerprint reading means 3 provided on the call button 14a and the like, and the fingerprint matches one of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4, the first count Means 9
Counts that the number of persons whose fingerprints are stored in the storage means 4 among the persons existing in the elevator body 1 is “2”.

The second counting means 11 calculates the number of all persons present in the elevator main body 1 from the images taken by the cameras 10a installed on the elevator main body 1 and the cameras 10b installed on each floor of the apartment. Count. Here, since three persons have entered the interior of the elevator main body 1, the second counting means 11 counts that the number of persons existing in the elevator main body 1 is "3".

Then, the judging means 12 judges whether or not the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 matches the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11. As described above, the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 is “2”,
Since the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 is "3", the judging means 12 judges that they do not match. When determined in this way, the warning means 6 transmits a warning signal to the warning means 7 and also to a security company which guards the apartment. Then, the warning means 7 sounds a warning sound. Further, the recording unit 8 records a fingerprint that has been authenticated as not matching any of the fingerprints stored in the storage unit 4. Further, the recording unit 8 records the time at which the authentication is not performed.

As described above, even if a person who is not a resident of the apartment uses the elevator together with a resident of the apartment, a warning sound is eventually sounded, and it is known in the apartment that a person who is not a resident intends to use the elevator. In addition, a warning signal is also transmitted to the security company, and the security company visits the security company, which increases the possibility that crime using the elevator can be prevented beforehand. In addition, since the fingerprint that has been authenticated as not matching any of the fingerprints stored in the storage means 4 and the time when the authentication has not been made coincident with the fingerprint are recorded in the recording means 8, even if a crime has occurred, , Police authorities record 8
Using the data recorded in the criminal investigation will greatly help criminal investigations.

The elevator body 1 that has started moving to the upper floor stops at the "fifth floor" and the "sixth floor" and opens the door. As a result, the residents A and B respectively have the “fifth floor” or “6
On the floor.

In the example described above, the judging means 12 judges whether or not the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 matches the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11. Before the elevator body 1
Was moved to the upper floor, but after it was confirmed by the determining means 12 that the number of humans counted by the first counting means 9 and the number of humans counted by the second counting means 11 were coincident, The elevator body 1 may start moving upstairs.

In the above-described example, the elevator main body 1 stops at the "fifth floor" and the "sixth floor" and opens the door. If the person does not get down, the person is locked in the elevator body 1. Also, even if the person gets off the "sixth floor", the elevator body 1 cannot be moved because the fingerprint of the person is not stored in the storage means 4,
You will have to be on the "6th floor". In either case, a beep is sounded and a warning signal is sent to the security company so that non-residents will be seized.

In the above-described embodiment, when each of the buttons such as the call button 14 is pressed, each person presses each button so that the fingerprint reading means 3 can read the fingerprint. If the button is not pressed so that the user can perform the operation, the authentication means 5 cannot authenticate the fingerprint, so that the elevator cannot be used.

In the embodiment described above, the warning signal is transmitted to the warning means 7 and the security company. However, the warning signal may be transmitted to the police.

Also, using the cameras 10a and 10b,
By recording in the recording means 8 when and on which floor a person who is not a resident of the apartment gets on the elevator main body 1 and when it gets off, it can be useful for criminal investigation.

As described above, the elevator of the present invention
Since the elevator has high security, a client who intends to construct a new apartment is more likely to install the elevator of the present invention in the new apartment.

The present invention is a program for causing a computer to execute the functions of all or a part of the above-described elevator of the present invention, and is a program that operates in cooperation with the computer.
